GENBOX (tm)
Shareware Version 2.0
Copyright 1994 Thoughtful Creations
GENBOX produces presentation-quality genealogy box charts from GEDCOM
files. You will need to have a genealogy database program that supports
the GEDCOM output format (such as Brother's Keeper or Personal Ancestral
File) in order to enter your own genealogy data. After you have done this,
use your database program to produce a GEDCOM file. Then, this GEDCOM file
can be used by GENBOX to produce box charts of your genealogy data.
FEATURES:
* 5 CHART TYPES: Descendant, Ancestor, Related, Everyone, Custom box charts
* ADVANCED GEDCOM DATA SUPPORT: tags, priorities, order, labels
* SCREEN PREVIEWER: preview/edit charts with full scrolling; print & save
* PROFESSIONAL INTERFACE: menus; context-sensitive help; many options
* DYNAMIC BOX WIDTHS: can vary depending on data available per person
* UNIQUE "TUCK-UNDER" ALGORITHM: reduces chart width dramatically
* ADVANCED PRINTING: landscape printing for chart "strips"; fonts
